American artists such as Eakins, Whistler, Sargent, Cassatt, and Hopper all studied and found inspiration in Paris. The tradition continues today, as a group of young American realists journey to Paris in August 2016 for the Paris Seminar. By studying in the museums, painting at the famous La Grande Chaumiere, and attending composition and humanities seminars, they will search for ways to develop their technique and refine their vision.
